Installation of an Andrew 7.6m antenna for North Telecom in Usingen, Germany

Skybrokers delivered and installed an used Andrew 7.6m DBS-band antenna to North Telecom in Usingen, Germany. The Earth Station Antenna installation was performed by a two member installation team and was successfully finished mid October 2020.

Due to the urgency we performed the antenna refurbishment on site prior to the installation of an Andrew 7.6m antenna for North Telecom in Usingen, Germany. We provided new motors and gearboxes, new limits and resolver kits and the original MCU/tracking box was tested and reconfigured. The antenna panels and de-icing enclosure were cleaned prior to installation and we replaced the hardware kit for the Walton full reflector de-icing.
